Each individual situation must be assessed to determine what solution or combination of activities will best suit the project, to do nothing should never be an option because of the potential harm to your health and to your home.
The health ramifications of mold can range from an allergic response to a toxic response. Because we are all different, people living under the same roof can have different reactions to mold.
